Fabric Inspiration: Chevron

Have you noticed the Chevron trend?  This zig-zag design has been around forever.  The earliest versions appearing around 1800BC in ancient pottery pieces from Greece.
Barclodiad y Gawre (North Wales)
 This geometric pattern has since been used throughout history in clothing, architecture, and home decor.  It is a timeless pattern that has stood the test of time.

The modern version of this pattern are bold and colorful, and I, personally find them quite appealing!
Take a look at a few prints from this line from Riley Blake.
Lovely, aren't they? 

The pattern makes for some gorgeous handmade items....
